At least 16 arrested in Danbury ICE sweep, including father and dialysis patient
Aug 24, 2026·Location: Danbury, CT

At least 16 people were arrested by ICE agents in Danbury on Monday, according to community advocates, with about half detained at a day laborer site and others stopped outside residences or businesses. One detained man requires dialysis treatment, and another is the father of a high school student. Advocates said many of those detained have no criminal or immigration history. Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves said agents appeared to be 'pulling random people' who looked Latino, calling the operation 'fear-driven' and intended to divide the community.
